I agree that the gender card is not the typical Ann response, but apparently, what Ann found in that bag was not the only nasty garbage at the Isthmus. What a bunch of ugly people, and on the inside where it counts.

I deleted the first couple posts that refer to the Isthmus thread. They were off in a way that annoyed me. Sorry that left other people responding to nothing.

For the record, what I said was sexist was calling me "Hon" in a way intended to belittle. That's plain old-fashioned sexism coming from a stranger. (If you're my dear friend or relative, it would be different.) Calling a woman you don't know "Hon" is like calling a black man "boy." Except you assume a woman will let you get away with it, so it works better for cowards.

I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just delete my blog or something. Anything except leaving up my goddam posts forever. People coming and putting a bunch of comments on your blog that you'll never see, and all that crap. Who wants comments when you're dead? Nobody.

So, what we learned here today is that it is a matter of principle for Ann not to delete posts about gays suffering from "AIDS dementia" and other slanders but you better not refer to an Isthmus thread. "THAT IS BEYOND THE PALE AND ANNOYS ME!"
